Race 5 – 14:15
1950m – Gallop TV YouTube Channel Maiden Plate
1 – Uzwano
Breeding: Ideal World (USA) – Banbury by Horse Chestnut
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
His last start over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Greyville is best ignored as he had no clear run up the straight. The son of Ideal World should love the rise to 1950m, and he jumps from pole position. He is doing nicely at home and should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Ignore latest. Chance on good previous form.

Race 6 – 14:50
1600m – Open A TABGold Account – 031 314 1874 Maiden Plate
4 – O Space O
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Principessa by Querari (GER)
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He is having his first run in KZN for MJ Odendaal. The son of Vercingetorix is temperamental, but he has shown some signs of ability. He is likely to need this outing and the run will bring him on for future races. We are hoping to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Crawford B-2024.10.05. Rested 17 wks. Gelded 2024.05.22. Blinkers ON. Poor form in both runs. Makes stable debut.

Race 7 – 15:25
1200m – Marula Sprint (Non-Black Type)
10 – Shipholia
Breeding: William Longsword – Sea Glitter (USA) by Holy Bull (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 10 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
With her high rating, it has been hard to find races against her own sex and she must take on males once again. She is doing well and is in a good space heading into this contest. William Robertson looks hard to beat over this distance. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Sean Veale retains the ride, and she should be right there.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:105. Decent latest. Should give the males another good run for their money.

Breeding: Captain Of All – Neurose (BRZ) by Dubai Dust (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 4 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She ran a good race when second over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Greyville last time. She is showing very nice work at home and she is moving well. The daughter of Captain Of All should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Good second in latest and the form line has been franked. Respect.
